"Faust has been called the fundamental icon of Western culture, and Goethe's inexhaustible poetic drama is the centrepiece of its tradition in literature, music and art. In recent years, this play has experienced something of a renaissance, with a surge of studies, theatre productions, press coverage and public discussions. Reflecting this renewed interest, leading Goethe scholars in this volume explore the play's striking modernity within its theatrical framework. The chapters present new aspects such as the virtuality of Faust, the music drama, the modernization of evil, Faust's blindness, the gay Mephistopheles, classic beauty and horror as phantasmagoria, and Goethe's anticipation of modern science, economics and ecology. The book contains an illustrated section on Faust in modern performance, with contributions by renowned directors, critics and dramaturges, and a major interview with Peter Stein, director of the uncut 'millennium production' of Expo 2000"--

Les Essais esthétiques de Humboldt sont à plusieurs titres un texte-frontière : marquant un certain détachement vis-à-vis de Schiller et, conjointement un approfondissement de l’amitié avec Goethe, ces essais s’avèrent décisifs dans la formation de la pensée humboldtienne. Outre que l’auteur, dans ses analyses, dépasse parfois la philosophie kantienne sur laquelle il avait rêvé de fonder une théorie des genres, sa réflexion esthétique l’amène à s’intéresser aux problèmes du langage. Parallèlement à l’édition allemande, Humboldt en publie, sous la forme d’un article à Madame de Staël, une courte version adaptée explicitement au public français, article qui témoigne de la vigueur, mais aussi des limites, des échanges intellectuels entre la France et l’Allemagne, à l’aube du xixe siècle.
